    @ocean @calisti I hate this timeline 😭 I just want a decent search. I don’t find alternatives (most often relying on Google or bing results) to be all that better. Pls someone capable do something 😕

      @ocean I have avoided using Google search for years, simply because it turned to shit.

                @ocean i've heard people asserting this for years but it's nice to have an actual court document validating what we already believed :]

                  @mjdxp@labyrinth.zone i will note that this is kind of distant extrapolation from the actual court documents that the original author went on social media to flatly deny

                        @ocean Yes, and it was noticeable. I stopped using Google for that reason. The amount of work that I had to do became tiring; it was noticeable in a day. All the weeding.

                          From 'don't be evil' to 'let's see just how evil we can be'. Glad I closed my Google account a while ago.

                                Plus it de-lists entries that are older than 5-7 years.

                                You can check that on a(ny) older/continuing forum, i.e. the same server, even the same board/thread. Older entries are de-listed from the search index.

                                  @ocean If you are still using Google as your main search engine in 2026, maybe you should stop using the internet at all. You are a threat to yourself and humanity.

                                    @ocean actually, my friends and me were talking that google was returning poor answers and also competition apps were not providing better results. We were considering that www was becoming intelectually poor and boring.

                                    Anyway, can you provide the source of your text.
